I slept lightly, and when I heard movement, I opened my eyes and got up. I looked inside the room and asked Minqiu, "What about the Fourteenth Master?" Min Qiu helped me and replied, "The Fourteenth Master just went out." I walked to the warm pavilion, Concubine De was sitting on the edge of the kang, and the palace people lowered her cuffs, I guessed that she had applied the medicine, and it was time to sleep peacefully, so she stepped forward and blessed her body, and said: "Eniang, is your arm better?" ”

Concubine De said kindly: "It's much better than a few days ago, it doesn't hurt so much." He also said: "Fourteen is outside, you find him, you don't have to come back to ask for peace again, just go back to Brother's house with him." ”

I made a blessing and said respectfully, "Yes." ”

The palace maid lifted the brocade curtain, and I turned sideways out, and was swept away by the cold wind, shivering from the cold, and my brain was much clearer. The night is thick, and the black pavilions stand majestically in the distance. There are several palace lamps hanging under the porch, dimly reflected at the feet. Fourteen stood not far away, with his back on his back, not knowing what he was looking at, motionless.

As I approached him, I shouted, "Fourteen." ”

He seemed to be distracted, looked back at me in panic, and his lips trembled and he didn't speak. I had never seen him like this, and I thought something big had happened, so I walked up to him a few steps and asked, "What's wrong?" He turned around again and looked at him inexplicably, and I followed his gaze, but there was nothing. Halfway through, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's cold." ”

I touched his palm, and when I saw the cold sweat on my hands, I said, "Go back and let the kitchen cook a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold." ”

Xuanlai warmed the sedan chair, and when I returned to my brother's office, I didn't care about being cold, so I ordered the kitchen to boil ginger soup. But Fourteen stood at the door, and did not even enter the house, and said, "Have a good rest." "I'm inevitably disappointed, and he said he wanted a round house before... I said, "I'll let Minqiu send you ginger soup to your house, drink it and then go to sleep, don't forget." ”

Fourteen hummed softly and walked away with the lantern.

Fourteen stayed up all night.

Ailian's face burned on his heart, and when he closed his eyes, it was full of her sad expression. After a year, it seems that all the years have returned, and she smiles lightly under the cherry blossom rain, panics on the horse, frowns in the crowd, and looks timidly when she meets her for the first time. Time didn't seem to take anything away, and he remembered every scene clearly.

He was also glad that she did not die.

He decided to go to her.

The winter morning came very late, the sky was not bright, there were fine snowflakes floating in the air, the wind was very strong, he avoided the palace people, only took Zhang Fangfang, and found the Tai Hospital. The hospital was on duty all the time, and the eunuch in the gatehouse was dozing, standing in the middle of the corridor and waiting. Zhang Fangfang tightened her cloak and walked into the gate, pulled a little eunuch and asked, "Is the medical girl who was on an errand in Yonghe Palace last night?" The little eunuch didn't recognize Zhang Fangfang, looked at the official clothes, and hesitated: "You have to ask the lord in charge to know." ”

Zhang Fangfang asked, "Where is the master?" ”

The little eunuch pointed to the main house of the Sifang Courtyard, and Zhang Fangfang did not slack off, and walked quickly. Entering the house, Lord Wang was washing, and Zhang Fangfang said politely: "Hello, my lord." Lord Wang spat out his mouthwash and asked, "Are you?" Zhang Fangfang didn't answer who she was, but said, "Can you check the record of the doctor on duty last night?" ”

Lord Wang frowned and said, "Don't you say who you are?" Why should I check it out for you? ”

Zhang Fangfang's mind turned quickly, and she said vaguely: "I want it from above." Indeed, Fourteen was also his "superior." But many people think that "Shangtou" refers to the emperor of the concubine, and maybe it is the emperor who has taken a fancy to which medical girl. Lord Wang silently weighed it before giving the booklet to Zhang Fangfang, who was not very literate, and asked: "Where was the doctor girl who was on an errand in Yonghe Palace yesterday?" ”

Lord Wang said: "You said Furong, she was there to boil medicine for the little master of Chuxiu Palace." As he spoke, he pointed out the door. Zhang Fangfang didn't care about being polite, trotted to the porch, opened her mouth and said: "Girl, you are blessed, the fourteenth master wants to see you, come with me." Fleur was not surprised at all, she stood up calmly, patted the snow foam on the hem of her skirt, and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Yes, Fleur is Ailian's pseudonym.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, the snow was shining brightly, and the heavy golden yellow of the imperial city was slowly covered with a layer of pale white. The road was empty, and the wind carried the snowflakes wildly in all directions. Standing in the snow, like a stoic and upright green pine, anyone who sees it will feel safe, reliable, and attached. Ailian's clothes are thin, and every time she takes a step towards him, her heart will be hotter.

When I walked in front of him, I was already in tears.

Fourteen took off his cloak, wrapped Ailian, looked her deeply into his eyes, and said softly: "It's good that you're still alive." ”

Ai Lian trembled violently and said, "It's good? Shouldn't you be scared to see someone who thought he was dead suddenly appearing in front of you? Fourteen said: "I'm not afraid, because you are Ailian, even if it is a ghost, I will not be afraid." Ai Lian grabbed tears and sneered: "How long will you lie to me with your hypocrisy?" I'm no longer the Ai Lian I used to be, and my heart was dead on the day you rewarded the poison. From now on, I will only hate you, hate you, hate you!! ”

Her heartbreak is as heart-wrenching as his heartache.

Fourteen's eyes turned red, and he smiled bitterly: "It's right for you to hate me, if hating me can make you feel better, then hate it." Ai Lian said: "Hate?!" It's more than hatred, I'm going to kill you to relieve the hatred in my heart. ”

Her pain is also his pain.

He shed tears, but he still smiled like the young man of the day, and said: "Okay, I am not wronged at all when I die in your hands, I am sorry for you." Ai Lian continued: "Not only will I kill you, but I will also kill Yan Qiang, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been ruthless enough to let me die." Fourteen Dao: "Between me and you, it has nothing to do with Weiwei, if you want to hate me, hate me." It's me who is bad, it's me who ordered you to be rewarded with poison, it's me who ordered the firewood room to be burned, it's... If you make all your mistakes, you will hate me. ”

Ailian's tears couldn't be stopped, sliding into the corners of her mouth, bitter and sour.

She said desolately: "If it weren't for my desperate attempt to pull out the poison, if it weren't for my fateful effort to drill out of the dog's hole, at this moment, I would only have a pile of white bones left." I kept crying and crying that day, crying to see you again, I really don't believe it, the person who wants me to reward me with poison, the person who wants me to die, it is you! You are the person I love the most, the person I love, the person who makes me live a good life..."

Fourteen hugged her and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." In these two years, I regretted every day, thought of you every day, and dreamed every day that you would come back. I'm really glad you're alive. Ailian's bosom was overwhelmed by the warmth and familiarity of her breath, and she couldn't help but weep bitterly, anger and resentment that had eaten away at her heart like a viper, making it impossible for her to breathe. But today, when he really appeared in front of her, when he confessed his mistake to her, when he said he was sorry, her heart melted.

Melt into a puddle of spring water.

She still loves him.

Fourteen said: "The palace is not a place where you can stay for a long time, shall I send you away?" The heart that was almost resurrected was once again cruelly extinguished, Ai Lian broke free from his embrace, and said, "You let me go, I..."

She was so painful that she couldn't speak, and tried her best to hold back her choked and said, "In order to see you, in order to enter the palace, do you know how much I have suffered?" I want you to pay me back, with everything you have! Fourteen: "How do you want me to repay?" As long as I can unravel the hatred in your heart, I will promise you anything. Ai Lian cried and laughed, and said, "Do you think I am still the stupid Ai Lian two years ago? Now I don't believe anything you say. Tears flowed all over her face, and the wind blew her in pain.

But no matter how painful it is, it is less than one-ten-thousandth of her heartache.

The sky was bright, and gradually there were palace people coming and going. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, many princes and ministers will bring their families to the palaces to ask for peace. Fourteen still has to serve Concubine De, and she can't delay for too long, and Ailian, who is busy sending decoction to the little lord and palace people with low ranks. Neither of the two could convince anyone, and after a moment of silence, Ai Lian said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

Fourteen was speechless, and said, "Go ahead." ”

When she arrived at Yonghe Palace, Rose stood under the Yonghe Gate against the wind. The snow stopped, and a faint reddish glow came from the east. Rose greeted him from afar and smiled, "Where have you been?" I'm waiting for you to come in and say hello." Her smile was clear and pure, and her voice was clear and tactful, squeezing into the dull hearts of the fourteen, like a rainbow of clouds, which could cover up all the wind and snow at night.

Before he could reply, Rose exclaimed, "Where's your cloak?" Fourteen's cloak was given to Ailian, and he subconsciously didn't want Rose to know about Ailian, so he casually lied and said, "I went to the study just now, and I forgot to wear it back." ”

Rose glared and complained, "It's really forgetful." Then he said to Zhang Fangfang: "If you don't go to get it for your father, you will use it at night." Zhang Fangfang was very good at figuring out the master's words, and knew that Fourteen intended to hide it, so he said again and again: "The slave will go back and get it." ”

Anyway, there are a lot of cloaks, just find another one.

Concubine De's injury was almost healed, and she was very energetic to summon the inner woman who entered the palace to ask for peace. Rose's mother also came, and Concubine Dete made a will, allowing the two mothers and daughters to speak considerately in the side courtyard. Fourteen also asked Mrs. Wanyan to say goodbye, and Mrs. Wanyan became more and more satisfied with her son-in-law, and urged Rose to have children quickly.

Mrs. Wanyan said, "Look at your little sister Niu Colu? Xiao Man, it's only been half a year since he entered the Fourth Master's Mansion, and I heard that she is pregnant! Although she is still just a personality at the moment, if she is angry and gives birth to a grandson, plus she is clever, I don't know what she will look like in the future. After a change of words, he nagged again: "You have been married for more than a year, why don't you have any news about your stomach?" It seems that the prescription I asked for in the temple last time didn't work, so I'll have to ask for two more talismans to try..."

Rose also wanted to give birth to a baby quickly, but Fourteen didn't do anything, and she wasn't hermaphroditic, how could she get pregnant?

Hey, that's it, leave it to fate.
